Default I bought myself a new Porsche!!!

Earlier this year Porsche announced that they were going to bring the 4 cylinder Macan to the US. With our 2011 Audi Q5 2.0T having over 100k miles we were looking to replace it this year so with that news I knew what we would replace it with. We ordered our 2017 Macan 2.0 this week. It has 252 hp and 273 pounds of torque and she'll do 0-60 in 6.3, almost as fast as the 968! For only an additional $6k I could have ordered one in Mint green but we went with the standard white and saved the money. I never thought I would purchase a new Porsche but they made one for us so it is on the way. We should have it by August.

This is as close to a 2017 968 as I can get.

Very neat Jeff.
We too are looking pretty hard at a Macan to replace our MDX, but it might be a few years since the MDX refuses to act it's age........it's been bulletproof and doesn't feel like a 7 year old DD car. Normally we're getting something new at about the 4 year old mark.

Cool, popularity of the macan is quickly about to overtake the cayenne in sales it looks like.
